AML1/ETO is the chimeric protein resulting from the t(8;21) in acute myeloid leukemia. The Nervy homology 2 (NHR2) domain in ETO mediates oligomerization and AML1/ETO's interactions with ETO, MTGR1, and MTG16, and with the corepressor molecules mSin3A and HDAC1 and HDAC3. We solved the NHR2 domain structure and found it to be an alpha-helical tetramer. We show that oligomerization contributes to AML1/ETO's inhibition of granulocyte differentiation, is essential for its ability to enhance the clonogenic potential of primary mouse bone marrow cells, and affects AML1/ETO's activity on several endogenous genes. Oligomerization is also required for AML1/ETO's interactions with ETO, MTGR1, and MTG16, but not with other corepressor molecules.

Background: Alcohol dependence (AD) is a common psychiatric disorder, often accompanied by anxiety and depression. These comorbidities are linked to disturbances in serotonin (5-HT) metabolism and gut microbiota dysbiosis. Clinical studies suggest that inulin, a prebiotic, can alleviate anxiety and depression in AD patients by affecting the gut microbiota, although the mechanisms remain unclear.

RNA polymerase III (POLR3)-related leukodystrophy is a rare, neurodegenerative disorder characterized by hypomyelination, hypodontia, and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Despite the challenges of caring for a child with POLR3-related leukodystrophy, few studies have examined parents' disease burden. We sought to investigate quality of life and stress levels amongst parents of children with POLR3-related leukodystrophy.

CBFA2T3-GLIS2 is a fusion oncogene found in pediatric acute megakaryoblastic leukemia that is associated with a poor prognosis. We establish a model of CBFA2T3-GLIS2 driven acute megakaryoblastic leukemia that allows the distinction of fusion specific changes from those that reflect the megakaryoblast lineage of this leukemia. Using this model, we map fusion genome wide binding that in turn imparts the characteristic transcriptional signature.

Article Synopsis
- - The V1b receptor (V1bR), located in the anterior pituitary, regulates the HPA axis by prompting the release of ACTH, which ultimately stimulates cortisol production; dysfunction in this axis is linked to psychiatric disorders.
- - Inhibiting the V1b receptor could help treat stress-related conditions like anxiety and depression, with the selective antagonist nelivaptan being a key focus of research for its effects on this receptor.
- - This study involved extensive molecular dynamics simulations of the V1bR-nelivaptan complex to better understand how the antagonist binds to the receptor, identifying specific residues that contribute to selective binding, which aligns with known structures of similar receptors.

Seizures, depression, and anxiety are neurological disorders that affected innumerable people worldwide. Recent research has revealed that targeting 5-hydroxytryptamine 2 (5-HT) receptors can help suppress these conditions. An in-depth literature study has identified that phytocompounds from the Boerhavia genus could reduce seizures.
